Kiska Hai Tumko Intezaar

Sameer pakka ashiq material hai

Saumya was the daughter of a childhood friend of Girish. Anaya always had an inkling that she liked Sameer but was too proud to admit to anyone. Her expression, ever since Anaya introduced Naina to everyone was more of disbelief than jealousy or shock.

Eyeing Naina from top to bottom, she let out a sarcastic smile, 'Never expected Sameer ki girlfriend aisi hogi. Kahan se dhoond ke nikala hai isey tumhare bhai ne?'

Unlike her, Abir was quite appreciative, 'Kya baat kar rahi ho Saumya, she's exactly what Sameer talked about. Apna Sameer pakka ashiq material hai. Yaad hai jab hum log saath mein movies dekha karte the? Woh jaisi baatein karta tha Naina us image mein perfectly fit hoti hai... thodi traditional, thodi modern... shaant, par dekhne se hi confident lagti hai... simple, but elegant. Dono ki jodi zabardast hai.'

Nitin agreed with him, 'Right. Isiliye aajkal hamare liye time nahi hai iske paas. Itni pretty girlfriend meri hoti toh main bhi saara time uske saath hi spend karta.'

Tripti, Abir's sister, was a chirpy, vibrant person, who seemed most excited with the news, 'Wow Sameer, iska matlab Tarun ke baad ab next shaadi tumhari hone wali hai. Abir ko bhi kuch samjhao na, mujhe bhi Naina jaisi bhabhi chahiye.'

Though Naina was right in front of them, they were all talking about her as if she couldn't hear them. Uncomfortable at such scrutiny, she looked at Sameer, hoping for a rescue of some sorts.

As if he could read her eyes, Sameer walked towards her, smiling pleasantly at everyone in the group, 'Guys, maine socha tha surprise dunga. Lekin Anu ne hamesha ki tarah saara plan kharab kar diya. Anyway...' He came close to stand beside Naina, 'Ab sabko pata chal hi gaya hai toh main openly apni girlfriend ko le jaa sakta hun. Jaisa Nitin ne kaha, mujhe apna saara time uske saath spend karna hai.'

Not paying any heed to their combined protests, he held Naina's hand and walked away.

But they could hear Tripti's voice as she exclaimed, 'Dono ne twinning karne ke liye outfits choose kiye hain, red and black. Kitne cute lag rahe hain.'

It was then that they realised the similarity in their clothes. They were wearing the same combination.

Once they were in the outer area where food counters were set up, Sameer instantly let her hand go, 'Yeh mat samajhna maine apni marzi se tumhara haath pakda. Sirf tumhe wahan se nikalne ke liye kiya tha warna mujhe bhi tumhe touch karna pasand nahi hai.'

Holding his hand wasn't her concern at the moment.

Naina shut her eyes and took deep breaths to calm down before giving him an irritated look, 'Saari duniya mein announce karne ki baat nahi hui thi. Yeh contract sirf tumhari family ke liye tha. Lekin tum toh har jagah apni girlfriend ka board mere gale mein latka dete ho.'

Agitation sparked in his eyes, 'Uss board se mujhe koi fayda nahi hone wala balki tumhari hi value badh rahi hai.'

'Achha.' Her voice dripped with sarcasm, 'Aisi kya value badh gayi zara main bhi toh sunu. Na kisi ne crown pehnaya na haar aur na mere liye koi red carpet bichaya.'

'Sapne toh bohot bade hain tumhare.' He retorted with same derision, 'Crown aur red carpet har kisi ko nahi mil sakta.'

'Chahiye bhi nahi.' She snapped, 'Shanti chahiye, jo tumse chutkara milne ke baad hi aayegi. Par tum toh is jhooth mein naye audience add karte hi jaa rahe ho. Us din Param ke saamne keh diya aur aaj apne sab doston ko. Aise toh yeh drama khatam hone tak aadhi Dilli mujhe tumhari girlfriend samajhne lagegi.'

Sameer narrowed his eyes, 'Tumhe zyada problem kis baat se hai, aadhi Dilli se ya tumhare us Param se? Uske saamne keh diya toh bada bura laga? Kyon? Koi expectation spoil kar di kya maine?'
